User manual

If you don’t use the
disk utility to format
the drive, make
sure that you
choose the FAT32
file system,
otherwise it won’t
be recognised on
the network.
Formatting the disk
will erase all your
data on the hard
drive. Make sure to
backup you files
BEFORE you click
on “Format”!
Please read your
warranty carefully,
as this may vary
between different
vendors!
If you experience
network connection
problems, use the
IP address instead
of the STORAGE
name.
Disk Utility
You may use the disk utility to format your drive, scan for disk
errors and set the idle time before the device switches to
standby mode.
When you format the drive using the disk utility, it will create a
single partition using the FAT32 file system. If you create other
partitions when connected through USB or choose a different
file system, keep in mind that the LAN disk is only able to
recognize the first partition and it has to be FAT32.
FAQ
For RMA and other questions, please contact your vendor or
check out their online support area!
Q: I forgot my login, what do I do?
A: If you forgot your personal login for the LAN disk, press and
hold the reset button, turn on the device and wait for ten
seconds before releasing it. This will reset the device to its
factory default settings.
Q: SMB access doesn’t work on Mac OS 10.4.
A: With earlier versions of Mac OS 10.4, the LAN disk can not
be accessed through SMB. Please upgrade to Mac OS 10.4.3
or later to resolve this problem.
Q: FTP access on my Mac doesn’t work.
A: The FTP utility on the Mac will be able to read the data on
the LAN disk but you can not write new data to the drive. To do
that, you will need to install a dedicated FTP application, which
can either be a free utility or professional shareware program.
